Images displayed by the <Gallery>...</Gallery> tag do not obey user viewing preferences. The packed mode will automatically adjust image sizes to use available display space optimally. Every line specifies an image file. The File: prefix is unnecessary. Captions are optional and are separated from file name by a vertical bar ("|").
image is the name of the image, abc.jpg, xpz.png, 123.gif, etc. Do not include the File: or Image: prefix, do not enclose the name in [[brackets]], but do remember to include the filename extension. image_upright should normally be left blank, so that the size defaults to the size set in a user's preferences.
Preserve the original image size, and do not add a border around the image. Place it inline with the text unless overridden with the location attribute. Do not show a caption. If no alt text is specifically requested, use the requested caption as alt text. This option is almost exclusively used in templates.
The capitalization in the wikicode must be followed; thus if an image file is Image:Photo of Wikipede.JPG, you will need to use the capital letters for "JPG". The image is blacklisted on MediaWiki:Bad image list. Consider requesting its removal at MediaWiki talk:Bad image list.
